Bridgetown.
The Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) is seeking legal advise over the omission by the Barbados cricket team from the final four of the regional Super50 championship.
Barbados despite having a superior net run rate to the Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) did not qualify for the semi finals of the tournament. Both the CCC and Barbados finished the preliminaries matches of the tournament on 10 points.
CCC qualified for the semi finals due to their defeating Barbados earlier in a preliminary match.
First Vice President of the BCA Conde Riley described the decision as "ludircrous.
Riley described the decision as "ludicrous".
"There is clearly an error with regard to the final standings. In any round robin tournament, individual teams will win and lose and the tie-breaker used internationally is Net Run Rate if most wins cannot determine the positions," Riley told Trakker News.
"Hence I have instructed one of the BCA's attorneys-at-law, Mr. Randall Belgrave QC, who deals with disputes, to act on the BCA's behalf in this matter. It is clear to the BCA that the decision to place Barbados fifth although they have a better Net Run Rate than the team they placed as fourth, is flawed. This is based on all international rules. It is a ludicrous decision," Riley said.
